Namakubi

A namakubi (生首), meaning "freshly severed head," traditionally symbolizes death, courage, honor, mortality, and the consequences of conflict in Japanese art.

In tattoo imagery, it can also represent accepting death, overcoming fear, victory over an enemy or hardship, and the fleeting nature of life.
